Morning Swooners,

The semester is over!!! This is the start of a great week...I have no school! I feel like a new person today! Okay, so I am a little over excited about not being in school. Either ways lets get on with our quotes for the day.

~John Banville, The Sea

“Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.” ~Rose Wilder Lane

Believe it exists, come to know it better, nurture it, share its fruits tirelessly.” ~George Saunders

Hope you have a wonderful week!
